44 Point-of-care analysis of lactate from intraosseous samples during resuscitation
Conclusion
Intraosseous lactate values showed good agreement with arterial and venous values before cardiac arrest, but IO values were clearly higher during VF and CPR. During resuscitation IO lactate values seem to represent better the metabolic state at tissue level than arterial or venous lactate.
